Governor Church Is expected in Yank
ton to look into the insane asylum met
ter. This is what he should do and hs
should give all parties a hearing. Ii BIT
has a case against anybody it Will beal
the light of open Investigation. The

Michael Stohiler, who was reported a;
having mysteriorsly disappeared from
the GAINESVILLE nelghborhood has
mysteriously re.appesred, He was dis
covered three days after he was missed
sitting on the bank of the Jim content
edly chewing his oud and watching the
bobber OF his fish line.
One year ago q man remarked that
Yankton would have q chance within
one year to say whether she would fish
or out bait. She will fish, and her fish
pole is long, her lines strong and her
hooks are sharp, and henceforth every
thing in the shape of q business enter
prise which nlbbles will be taken gently
but firmly in.
j. A. Emmons was in Omaha Monday
night and attended the Yaakton railroad
meeting. He says there was great en-
thusiasm over the project. The orator
of the delegation, General Beadle, being
detained at home, left the Yankton squad
short on elocution and Hanson and
Powers had to mount the rostrum and
face the swaying multitude.
Omaha is tapped by the Wabash sys-
tenn, the Missouri Pacific system, the
Burlington & Missouri River system, the
Union Pacific system, the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific system and the Chicago,
Burlington u Quincy system, besides
the two systems operating in Dakota.
These roads reach every important
point in the west, south and east. Tue
100 miles of road to be built between
Ysnkton and Omaha will place the
valley of the Jim in direct oommunica-
ton with all the country south OF the
latitude of Yankton. 1t is the biggest
railroad move in itB results that could
be planned. And Ysnkton is the gate
way through which the connecting link
must pass.
Capt. John Belk, OF the steamer Temp,
kins, who arrived with his boat this
morning, has speut the entire day look
ing over the city which is the scene OF

friend. II would rather be q tramp in
Yankton than a millionaire D"--well
We won't name the town, but it is up
river. eff I make another trip to yank-
ton I will bring my wife and children
and stay here forever. This is the only
town in Dakota, that I want to live in.'
j. w Buford, clerk of the Tompkins, is
fairly carried away with the good looks
of this city. He was driven all around
Asel Kyes this forenoon and his remarke
after the ride would lead his hearers to
believe that MI. Bufofd had suddenly
dropped into q Dakota paradise. Capt,
John Nolan, head engineer of the
Tompkins and a veteran Missouri steam.
boat man, is also admiring the improve
ments in Yankton since he saw it last.

ton in q business capacity and will call
